Chalk Talk

Chalk Talk has come to an end for another season, and we cannot thank Bob Jarvis enough for all of his time and effort that was put into this year’s educational section of our club. Bob is very dedicated to the sciences of duplicate bridge, and his generosity in organizing and passing on his knowledge is very much appreciated by all of his students.
We hope he has another season planned for 2013, as we will eagerly wait for his wealth of knowledge for our great game of duplicate bridge.
Bob finished off his lessons with the 1430 convention.
1430 is a form of Roman Key Card Blackwood in which the King of that suit becomes a key card and is counted as the fifth ACE.
1430 is only used when there is an agreed trump suit and you are searching for a possible slam bid.
The convention works off of the last bid suit.
Partner bids 4 NT as a request for ACES or key cards, and responses are as follows; 5C = 1 or 4 aces. 5D = 0 or 3 aces. 5H = 2 or 5 aces and no Queen of the bid suit. 5S = 2 or 5 aces with the Queen of bid suit. Hopeful responses end in a slam bid of a previously agreed trump suit. There is also another step to determine if partner holds the Queen, but best check this out on line. Good luck!
A Mitchell movement was played and after the scores were tallied the winners were as follows:
North/south: First: Peter and Jane Gilewicz; second, Timothy and Barbara Sargeant; third, Bob Fedosa and Lissa Lowes; fourth, Arnold and Delores Nussey; and fifth, Jerry Daley and Isobel Woodhouse.

East/West

East/west: First and first overall, John Ducklow and Gail Payne, second, Ken Burgoyne and Chris Beck; third, Betty Houle and Don Beck, fourth: Jim and Paula Jones; and fifth, Ruth Ann Miles and Sandralee Myers.
